Discovery’s Final Flight The space shuttle Discovery flew over Washington D.C. this morning, perched atop a 747 transport plane. This was the shuttle’s final flight, as it is being delivered to its final resting place at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. D.C. residents got quite the air show today, as shown by these photos. If you’re jealous and you happen to live in NYC, keep your eyes open next week as the Enterprise, a never-flown shuttle prototype, makes its way to the west side of Manhattan to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. It will be visible on a barge in the Hudson River and will be lifted via crane onto the aircraft carrier deck. West coast residents will have a chance later this year when Endeavour is flown out to Los Angeles for her final resting place. (images via Twitter @BarisOrnarli and @skenigsberg)
